66Unless you are a Windows user, we recommend that you use [IMOUTO](https://github.com/Tatoeba/admin) to install Tatoeba so that you do not have to configure everything manually.
77
88If you are a Windows user or if for some reason you have issues with IMOUTO, you can still try to set things up manually. This article will try to guide you in doing that.

1111Required tools
1212------------------
1313
1414You will need to install the following:
1515
1616* Apache
1717* PHP 5.3
1818* MySQL
1919* Git client
2020
2121#### Windows users
2222
2323* [XAMPP](http://www.apachefriends.org/en/xampp-windows.html) will do the trick for Apache/PHP/MySQL. But you may need to use version **1.7.7** of XAMPP rather than the latest version, because Tatoeba currently uses PHP 5.3.
2424* You can use [Github for Windows](https://windows.github.com/) as your Git client.
2525
2626#### Mac or Linux users
2727
2828* [XAMPP](http://www.apachefriends.org/en/xampp.html) works, too.

3838Virtual host
3939---------------
4040
4141If you already have some other websites set up on your machine, you will need to set up a virtual host. The point is that instead of going to something like **http://localhost/tatoeba2**, you go to some custom URL. I personally use **http://tatoeba.dev/**.
4242
4343The reason is because CakePHP will not handle the URL rewriting properly if you try to browse through a subdirectory. You will get some error saying something like "The action tatoeba2 is not defined in controller PagesController".
4444
4545If you don't know how to set up a virtual host, you should be able to find tutorial by googling it. Here are some links.

57To edit your hosts file on Windows, make sure that:
58* your folder view options are not set up to hide system files (or you won't be able to see the hosts file)
59* you are editing as administrator (or you won't be able to save your changes)

6265
6366Copy the file `app/config/core.php.template` and name it `core.php`.

7174### database.php
7275
7376Copy the file `app/config/database.php.template` and name it `database.php`.
7477
7578In the file `app/config/database.php`, set your login, password and database in the $default array. If you want, you can set the value of 'password' to an empty string.
7679
7780 var $default = array(
7881 'driver' => 'mysql',
7982 'persistent' => false,
8083 'host' => 'localhost',

9598### Create the database
9699
97100First, create the database. Make sure the name you use here is the name you've set in `app/core/database.php`. I'll name it `tatoeba`.
98101
99102Make sure you have started Apache and MySQL from the XAMPP Control Panel. Now you can issue "mysql -u root" to start MySQL from a Windows prompt. Issue these commands:
100103
101104 CREATE DATABASE tatoeba;
102105 USE tatoeba;
103106
104107### Create the tables and import the data
105108
106109#### From Trang's database
107110
108111The easiest solution is to download the copy of [Trang's local database](https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/953908/tatoeba/tatoeba_database.zip) (**69 MB**). It contains data from 2010, that is around 600k sentences.
109112
110113You can import the database with the command, which takes several minutes to run:
111114
112115 mysql -u username [-p] database_name < tatoeba_database.sql
113116
114117Within this database, the passwords for all users have been set to `123`.
115118
116119#### From the scripts in docs/database
117120
118121Another solution is to execute all the scripts in this order:
119122
120123* scripts in `docs/database/tables`
121124* scripts in `docs/database/triggers`
122125* scripts in `docs/database/import`
123126
124127From there you will be able to log in with `123456` with one of the following usernames:
